commonly used Menu Window Number 01 (short for M01) to display the Velocity, Flow Rate, Positive 
Totalizer, Signal Strength and Signal Quality, based on the pipe parameters configured last time by the 
user or by the initial program. 
 
The flow measurement program always operates in the background of the user interface. This means the 
flow measurement will keep on running regardless of any user menu window browsing or viewing. Only 
when the user enters new pipe parameters will the flow meter change measurement to the new parameter 
changes. 
 
When new pipe parameters have been entered or when the power has been just switched on, the flow 
meter will enter an adjusting mode to fine tune the proper amplification. By this step, the flow meter is 
going to find the best threshold of receiving signal. The user will see the progress by the number 1, 2, or 
3, which are indicated on the right lower corner of the LCD display.     
 
When the transducers have been adjusted on the pipe by the user, the flow meter will re-adjust the signal 
automatically.  Any user-entered configuration value will be retained into the NVRAM of the flow 
meter, until it is modified by the user. 
 

§2.3 Keypad   

 
The keypad for the operation of the flow meter has 16+2 keys, as shown by the right diagram.     
Keys 0 ~ 9    and    .    are keys to enter numbers 
Key 

▲

/+    is the UP key, when the user wants to go to the upper menu 

window. It also works as + key when entering numbers       
Key 

▼

/-  is the DOWN key, when the user wants to go down-sided 

menu window. It also works as the ‘–‘ key when entering numbers.     
Key 

◄

    is backspace key, when the user wants 

go left or wants backspace the left character that   
is located to the left of the cursor.       
Key ENT is the ENTER key for any inputting or selections. 
Key MENU is the key for the direct menu window jump over. Whenever 
the user wants to proceed to a certain menu window, the user can press 
this key followed by 2-digit numbers.     
The MENU key is shortened as the ‘M’ key afterward when referring to the menu windows.     
The ON    key is for the power on.     
The OFF key is for the power off.
